2001 Lotus Esprit GT Twin Turbo V8. This is getting to be a very rare car, in fact in 1999 to
2001 there were only 204 of them manufactured, and only 60 from 2001 with the round tail lights.
This is no normal Lotus Esprit...this Esprit has been rebuilt with racing components to a level at which is truly
breathtaking.
The owner wanted it fast. The engine has been rebuilt once with forged pistons, large 100cc racing injectors and
upgraded Turbos all at a cost of more than $25000. But it was not fast enough.
Then it was rebuilt again, 800 miles later, with even more upgrades, including APS Head Bolts, upgraded cams for
more low end torque, upgraded EMS, ECU and more powerful fuel pump.
Since the second rebuild (less than 100 miles ago), the owner has suffered an injury from a car accident and can no
longer drive a 5 speed manual vehicle so sadly this must go.
This Lotus Esprit makes more than 550 bhp at the rear wheels. With a curb weight of 3000 pounds that means this
car is a Ferrari, Lamborghini and Z06 killer in the 0-60, 0-100 and on any race track.
This Lotus Esprit has a rear camera to make it easy to reverse, the radio has a remote control, navigation system
and hard drive for MP3 and video files.
The interior is in good shape and features LED lighting, with LED projectors under each door with the LOTUS logo.
Currently the rear wing has been removed however it is included in the sale and can be installed at no cost if the
new owner wishes it so. Mileage is an estimate, will update when available.
The owner is a Lotus Owners Group Member and has had 4 Lotus Esprit cars so he is very well versed in the way they
operate and is meticulous about the maintenance on these cars.

Lotus drops Renault for Mercedes F1 engines
Tue, 08 Jul 2014With only three manufacturers supplying engines in Formula One this season, the teams have been fairly evenly split: Ferrari, Sauber and Marussia use Ferrari engines; Mercedes, McLaren, Williams and Force India run on Mercedes power; Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Lotus and Caterham employ Renault power units. But one important team is reportedly preparing to ditch Renault and switch to Mercedes for next year.
That team is Lotus, an outfit which has fallen off its pace the past few seasons but which has still been a vital partner for Renault. That's because until a few seasons ago, the team based in Enstone, UK, was owned by Renault and bore the company's name. The operation was founded in 1981 as Toleman, was rechristened Benetton in 1986, bought by Renault 2000, taking the company's name in 2002, sold to its current owners Genii Capital 2009 and adopting the black and gold Lotus livery in 2011. As Benetton, it ran Ford engines until switching to Renault in 1995, sticking with the French outfit ever since, but that decades-long partnership - which meandered through Renault ownership and back out again - is now apparently drawing to a close.
The departure of Lotus as a customer team ought to allow Renault to focus instead on its increasing ties with Red Bull, which has taken the Enstone team's place as Renault's principal team. It could prove a smart move for the Lotus team as well, as the Mercedes engines have been outperforming the Renault units this season by an order of magnitude: not only is Mercedes far outpacing Red Bull at the top of the standings, but each of Mercedes' customer teams is performing better than Renault's clients.
Lotus Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.
Race Recap: 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix follows the template of this year and last [spoilers]
Mon, 22 Apr 2013The sand, the wind, the penalties, the contact and the one crash - all of them collided to make the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix a surprise affair from day to day and lap to lap. Oh, and did we mention the tires? Pirelli made a last-minute swap after the amusement park ride that the Chinese Grand Prix turned into with the soft compound tire, and brought medium and hard compounds to the desert. That didn't stop things from falling apart for some teams - literally - and that didn't stop the one team that seems to love the hard compound Pirelli tire.
